Coriander Sweet Potato Soup with Toasted Cinnamon Pecans

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium shallot diced
  • 1 inch ginger minced
  • 3 large sweet potatoes diced (about 8 cups)
  • 3 ½ cups 1x900ml container vegetable broth, no added salt
  • 1 cup light canned coconut milk
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon salt

Cinnamon Pecans

  • 1 cup pecans
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add shallots and ginger, cooking until the shallot is fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add coriander, cinnamon and salt and cook another 1 minute, then add the sweet potatoes and broth.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower heat to low/medium. Simmer for 10 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are fork tender. Stir in the coconut milk.
  • Using a hand blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Set aside, keeping it warm by covering and keeping over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, preheat oven to 300˚F. Prepare the cinnamon pecans: Place the pecans on a baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with cinnamon and salt, then toss the pecans to coat evenly.
  • Toast the pecans for 10 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with coconut milk and top with cinnamon pecans.

Notes

Notes: If using broth with salt, reduce salt to taste.
